We only get to go onto Subase once a year, usually early September. The last 2 years the weather and water quality have been outstanding. Since North Lake is the only swimming hole for all paygrades to use, we are restricted to that one day.
All our other meetings in the sailing season will be at either Social Pond in Woonsocket, RI or Johnston War Memorial Park in Johnston, RI. Both are only about an hour from Groton. Social Pond rivals North Lake in quality and the facilties are top notch. Transportation shouldn't be a problem as there are 3 (all retired squids) of us near Groton and we can figure stuff out pretty well.
We would be tickled pink to have you join us!
Take care,
Bill

Kevin,
Cold weather months, 3 or 4 of us.
Warm weather 6 to 8, on rare occasions, 10. We're shutting down for DEC - MAR this winter, to start again the 3rd Saturday in MAR.
I hope you get what you want in orders, and that the duty is good for you.
Take care,
Bill
